Gentlemen of the Road invades St. Aug.

Crowds begin arriving Friday evening for the first night of the Gentlemen of the Road concerts in St. Augustine, a stop that will feature Mumford and Sons.

About 25,000 people are expected to attend the two-day event.

The St. Augustine Police Department says it is on high alert. On Friday night, 60 officers from six agencies were scattered throughout the area. Police want everyone to be safe this weekend and not become a victim of crime.

Some fans find a shady spot and relax as the concerts begin.

The stage was set Thursday as the tour made its final stop in the nation's oldest city.

The hype built throughout the week as the stage setup got underway.
